The Cyclist by Natalia Goncharova

The Cyclist by Natalia Goncharova was done in 1913 before World War I. It is oil on canvas, and the style is Post-Impressionism.  This represents movement and motion with the man on his bike moving down the street. the background is somewhat blurry creating that sense of speed and movement; almost fooling the eye. It was sold in 2007 for 9.8 million dollars, this set a record for any female artist.
